Radiofrequency and Ultrasound for the Summer Body

17 July 2017

The article discusses a non-invasive body contouring treatment using radiofrequency and ultrasound technology. Dr. Karl Schuhmann explains that this method offers an alternative to surgical procedures for reducing fat deposits, cellulite, and skin folds.

Key points:

• Treatment benefits: The procedure offers visible fat reduction and skin tightening without surgery, anaesthesia, or downtime
• Candidate suitability: "In principle, all areas of the body can be treated, regardless of the patient's gender and age" (Dr. Schuhmann)
• Technology: The Exilis Elite™ system uses radiofrequency and ultrasound waves to heat tissue, causing fat cells to die and be absorbed by the body
• Experience: Patients describe the sensation as comparable to a hot stone massage
• Treatment plan: Sessions last 15–60 minutes depending on goals, with 4–6 treatments at intervals of 7–14 days for optimal results
• Aftercare: Dr. Schuhmann recommends adequate hydration, a low-fat diet, and light exercise to improve treatment outcomes
